Editors Talk Christian Fiction Trends

Publishers Weekly has a panel discussion of editors from Christian publishers, talking about trends in Christian fiction. Issue-driven books are waning a little. Romance within closed communities is big now. Speculative fiction is still being read.

Barbara Scott of Abingdon said, “Calling a novel ‘chick lit’ seems to be the kiss of death these days in publishing, but if an author is interested in writing about younger characters, it can be done by deepening the story. Pure fluff is out; authenticity is in.”
